Appointment of the new Principal
From the Vice Principal
The ski trip has just returned from a very successful week in Les Menuires,
France. The staff reported that this was ‘the best trip ever, our students were fan-
tastic ambassadors for Settle College, behaviour was excellent and the whole trip
very enjoyable. Thanks to Mr Hulzebus, Mrs Lonsdale and Miss Horsfall for
leading the trip which also included students from Upper Wharfedale. Letters for
next years’ trip are available from Mr Hulzebus.
Ski Trip

Communications
Settle College is keen to
use electronic
communications, including
Text Messaging and E-
mails as much as possible.
This way we know the
communications are
reaching home as well as
reducing postage and
printing costs. We will use
this service in the future to
notify parents of emergency
closures, transport issues,
reminders about reports and
other events in college.
Letters have been sent out
to all new students and we
would encourage you to
complete the online
registration, following the
instructions on the letter, as
soon as possible to help us
communicate with you
more effectively.
Should you need a
replacement letter, please
email the College on
yorks.sch.uk and ask for a
replacement Parentmail
letter.
Exam Updates
Summer GCE and GCSE examinations
begin on Monday 13th May and finish on
Tuesday 25th June. In order for all
students to be prepared please make sure
that all the necessary equipment is
provided well in advance. Students will
need a selection of pens, pencils, a ruler,
rubber and a clear pencil case (if they
intend to use a pencil case). Other
equipment such as calculators will be
needed as and when instructed by their
class teacher.
The following revision guide may help
students with their study. Many
departments at Settle College have lots of
revision help on the school’s Virtual
Learning Environment (VLE). This can be
found under links on the College website. Texting to

REVISION GUIDE
Place this list
in a visible
place e.g.
1 plan a revision timetable so that the bulk of your revision is completed before the
exams start;
leave it all to the last mi-nute;
2 get an overview of each course, and then select areas for more detailed
revision;
revise each course in de-tail;
3 decide how much work you personally
need to do; compare the amount of work you are doing with that of your friends;
4 find out the best time of day for you and
plan to do most work then; push yourself to revise at a biological ‘low’ time;
5 take a ten minute break after every fifty
minutes; work for more than an hour without a break;
6 include a couple of free evenings each
week in your timetable; work every evening;
7 take a day completely away from revision from time to time and go outside, away from the working atmosphere;
work all day, every day;
8 fix times to discuss revision topics with
your friends; do all your work on your own;
9 work at an uncluttered desk, without too
many distractions in the way of papers or posters;
work surrounded with distractions and unread papers and books;
10 tidy up after each revision session and
put books away; leave books and notes open as a distraction;
11 eat sensibly and regularly; live on snack meals, chocolate, biscuits etc.;
12 establish a regular sleeping pattern; miss out on sleep;
13 get help with problems before they get too big - if friends or family can’t help, then see your tutor
suffer in silence and let worry stop you working.

We Will Rock You
Settle College has rocked audiences with a production of Ben Elton’s ‘We Will Rock You’ which
ran for three nights with tickets sold out. The cast, band, choir, staging/backstage crew and staff of
Settle College all joined together to create a superb show filled with spectacular talent. This year
the college has undergone a massive change with Year 7 and 8 students joining the college and
‘We Will Rock You’ has given them the chance to get involved with something creative and fun
whilst getting to know other students.
Set in the future where music has been outlawed, two newly found bohemians (outcasts from the
GaGa Kids) - Galileo and Scaramouche set out to bring down the Evil Killer Queen and her plan to
rule the universe with C.R.A.P. (Computer Recorded Automated Pop). Helped along the way by
fellow bohemians all of whom are named from Icons of Music History, Brittany Spears, Meatloaf,
Robbie Williams, Bob the Builder and an ageing hippie ‘Pop’. The production is a nationally rec-
ognised show, where the music of Queen has been long lost and forgotten. Songs such as ‘Radio
GAGA’, ‘I Want to Break Free’, ’Somebody to Love’, ’Killer Queen’, ’Crazy Little Thing Called
Love’, ’Who Wants to Live Forever’, ’Fat Bottomed Girls’, ’Hammer to Fall’, ’We Will Rock
You’ and ’We Are the Champions’ were all performed to a professional standard.
Principal cast members, who were all aged between 13-17, included: Ed Garland as ‘Galileo’, So-
phie Cooper as ‘Scaramouche’, Jess Edwards as ‘Meatloaf’, Tom Hollyhead as ‘Britney Spears’,
Molly McHale as ‘Killer Queen’, Bretton Lord as ‘Pop’ and Ruby Horsfall as ‘Commander
Kashogi’ with other parts of the production being filled by students of a variety of different ages
including students from ten local Primary schools. Everyone acted and san beautifully, with clarity
and conviction, oozing talent.
Whilst many of the show’s actors are enjoying getting involved in the production simply for fun,
for other students, this is actually part of their ‘A’ level or GCSE course which involves them ei-
ther performing in the play or even involves them in organising different aspects of the production
such as: make-up, costume, lighting and sound or directing. These students have had to make sure
that the production is as successful as possible in order for them to achieve their desired grade.
Overall, the production has been a huge success and this has been because of all of the people qho
have been involved to make it one of the college’s biggest productions ever.

The whole of the Col-
lege contributed towards
raising a total of
£1204.31.
Starting on Thursday
14th March we held an
inter-house ‘bake-off’.
Students from all year
groups contributed to-
wards bringing ingredi-
ents, baking or selling
their products. The win-
ning house was Kings-
dale with a very impres-
sive total of £196.
The baking theme con-
tinued on the Monday
with a staff ‘bake-off’.
Ms Doyle was the very
clear winner, followed
by many requests for
her closely guarded reci-
pe secrets.
On the Friday, all of the
students were invited to
wear their own clothes
with a theme of red and
the Sixth Form dressed
up as superheroes or
came to college in one-
sies. The main event
was the ‘to goo or not to
goo’ staff versus stu-
dents quiz in the hall. A
sell out crowd of stu-
dents came to watch as
Mr Renshaw and the
other members of staff
came away covered in
slime and goo.
Everyone involved in
raising money had a
great time and all of the
students should be con-
gratulated for the way
they organised activities
and conducted them-
selves.

Parent Pay
Parent Pay is an
electronic system which
enables parents and
students to pay online for
trips, uniform, memory
sticks, art equipment etc.
It is quick and easy and
stops any worries you
might have about
cheques and cash being
lost in transit to the
office. It is proving very
popular so far
If you have forgotten
your log-in details or
need any help with the
system, please contact
Mrs Rushton in the
school office or email
yorks.sch.uk
As you know the current College
Policy is to approve up to 5 days of
holiday in term time in exceptional
circumstances. Last term:
58 (12.5%) students took
holidays in term time
225.5 school days were lost
This amounts to 0.5% of
potential attendance for the
autumn term
While we understand that for some
parents it is difficult to get any time
off in school holidays, this is a small
minority. There are 12 weeks of
school holidays each year and most
parents can manage to get at least
two weeks in order to take a break
away together. We are not allowed to
give permission for holidays in term
time where cost is the primary
concern. Similarly we are not
allowed to give permission for
students to go on holiday other than
with members of their immediate
family.
Holidays in Term Time
During the spring term we frequently
have requests for skiing holidays.
The Governors have agreed to allow
the school ski trip to go in term time
rather than the Easter holiday in
order to make the trip financially
accessible so we know that students
do have this opportunity at a
reasonable cost.
Holidays in term time have a great
impact on students learning and
achievement in both Key Stage 4 and
the Sixth Form. The Governors have
decided that from September the
Principal will only be allowed to
authorise holidays in term time of up
to 5 days in Key Stage 3. The
Principal will not be allowed to
authorise any holidays in term time
in Key Stage 4 or the Sixth Form,
other than an approved educational
activity or in very exceptional
circumstances. This is inline with the
policy in other schools in North
Craven.
Settle College Uniform
Following feedback received from parents, the Governors have reviewed the College uniform requirements.
From May 2013 uniform will be available to purchase from MC Sports in Skipton and Pigtails in High Ben-
tham. Both stores will be represented at Transfer Evening on 10th July 2013 and parents will be able to order
uniform during the event.
Over a transition period during the summer term, uniform will still be available directly from Settle College
online shop. The shop will publish special offers for stock items after the Easter holiday.
During the summer term we will publish an updated Settle College uniform policy, featuring a reduction in
compulsory items.
Thank you for continuing to support Settle College by sending students to College in the appropriate uniform.
This is a very important part of the College’s ethos.

Sixth Form Taster Days
The taster day was extremely successful with 76 students from Year 11 attending a series of sample les-
sons. The students were invited to have a morning of being a Sixth Former and using the facilities includ-
ing the bistro, library and study areas. All of the students involved worked really hard during the morning
and took advantage of the opportunity to talk to staff and to think about their options for next year.
Following these discussion and interviews with students about the timetable we have almost finished mak-
ing the final amendments and the next stage in the application process will be a letter confirming that we
can offer a place, with the chosen combination of subjects. Application numbers have again increased this
year with many applications from external students. We are looking forward to an even bigger and more
successful Sixth Form next year!

A big well done to:
Tom Barton
Lauren Jackson
Courtney Johnson
Corey Murfin
John Nelson
Harriet Parker
John Staveley
Jake Tatham
Hollie Winder
who are part of the Talkabout class and have completed their AQA project “Settle College Anti-Drugs Cam-
paign”.
The students have worked so hard in producing booklets, leaflets and power points and a fantastic factual DVD
warning people about the dangers of drug abuse. Members of the class filmed, wrote music, sang, performed in
front of the camera and edited the DVD with special effects themselves. They presented the DVD to a Year 7
class and as a finale 4 students performed a “rap battle” between boys and girls. The year 7 students thoroughly
enjoyed it and the feedback they gave was fantastic.
The standard of work is highly impressive and every credit to each member of the group who overcame their
nerves and have produced some outstanding work.
Also a big thank you to Mrs Moon and Mrs Sobczak who have helped the group along the way.

FAIR TRADE
FORTNIGHT
Well done and congratulations to a group of Year 8
students who have organised events in Lower School
to raise money for Fair Trade. After a topic on Fair
Trade in Geography the students felt that they had to
do something to raise awareness and to help a farmer
and his family earn a fair wage. The students raised a
fantastic £75 which we will be sending to the Fair Trade Foundation.
The events were organised by Jess Addison, Jess Ashurst, Lucy Bainbridge, Joe Burke, Elle Dawson, Leah
Duncan, Leonie Harry, Tom Henderson, Issy Kay, James King, Rosie Laycock, Acacia Marshall, Nathan
Milner, Zoe Morphet, Matthew Stocks, Megan Toothill, Thomas Webster and James Whitaker.

Since early September, some Year 7 students have been running a successful enterprise business that began
life as a school shop. Selling a range of stationary equipment, from pens and pencils to Maths packs and
pencil cases, the students have learnt many important enterprise skills.
The team is led by 4 Sixth Formers; Luke Allan, Rachel Fulford, Joe Lister and Christopher Swithen-
bank who monitor the work of the Year 7 and ensure that the shop is manned every day at break and lunch.
The Enterprise Team is:
Benjamin Bradley PhilipCockett
Harry Wilson Jack Chamberlain
Abigail Adnett Chloe Cooper
Laura Murfin Daniel Taylor
Meghan Glover Joshua Capstick
Thomas Rayner James Clapham
India Healing Marcin Jastrzebski
Tom Horsfall
From a deficit of £50, they have twice sold out of stock and are currently displaying a healthy profit due to
many shrewd decisions, marketing strategies and aggressive selling! Pupils have found that by running an
enterprise, you need to work as a team, communicate well and be resilient.
The group have many ideas about what they want to do in future and are working cooperatively to decide
what to do with the surplus of money they are generating.
Look out Amazon!

Thirty two students (28 from Settle College, 4 from Upper Wharfedale School) and four staff set off in the early hours of
Saturday 16th March heading for the French Alps (Les Menuires, the 3 Valleys) for a ski experience, returning a week
later in the late afternoon of 23rd March. The aim was to learn to ski, ski, have fun, ski some more and improve tech-
nique, …. act responsibly and look out for others, speak and read French, plan, navigate, work effectively in a group, be
independent..etc.
Without bandying around the clichéd phrase, ‘The students were a credit to the school’ too much, it is hard to do justice
to how well behaved our students were. Staff at the hotel commented that they wished they had students like ours every
week, while guests took us to one side to express how impressed they had been with the politeness of our students. Every
morning they were on time to breakfast and chomping at the bit to start their skiing lessons; they worked hard to improve
their skiing technique; devoured everything on their plates at meal times; went to bed on time and then repeated their
brilliant behaviour each day.
In addition to their impressive conduct our students displayed some pretty remarkable skiing ability, with beginners
making excellent progress during their first week on real snow, while the intermediates and advanced groups honed their
existing expertise; some mastered their fear and ventured off piste for the first time and others displayed talent to rival
the experts. The week would not have been as amusing without some tumbling in the snow though (by both students and
staff!); the instructors even began referring to students as ‘autruches’, meaning ‘ostriches’, when they fell head first into
the snow!
If the skiing didn’t manage to wear everyone out then the evening activities had another go. Bum-boarding, some strange
antics involving bin bags, Le Piolet’s own version of Tough Mudder, a quartet of sporting activities, a disco and even a
mini-spa break kept everyone entertained until we finally let them have a rest and put their feet up with a movie night to
end our week of exhilaration.
While sadly we haven’t got space to mention each student’s achievements individually, special commendation must be
made to Jack Depledge who, in addition to selflessly giving out his Deep Heat to anyone who complained of an ache or
pain, impressively helped to guide down a group of skiers after another student injured themselves on the slope. His
calm, mature, helpful attitude was indispensable in what could have been a very stressful situation.
So, overall, a more positive report could not be given of our week in Les Menuires. Next year’s participants certainly
have a lot to live up to!
And, if you don’t believe our reports, here are just a few from the students:
Gabi Kayley: “It was fantastic, created a lot of memories and the skiing was brill. I loved the whole week!”
Hugh Francmanis: “It was a lively, enjoyable and an amazing experience. I was always having fun.”
Evie Denby-McCool: “Fantastic views and a great learning experience.”
Katie Handford: “It was pretty awesome.”
Sally Handford The instructor kept calling us ‘autruche’, meaning ‘ostrich’ when we fell head first into the snow.

Rugby Union is growing within Settle College with over 25 boys in all years participating in
practices during lunch time throughout the week. With this high demand the RFU have been
able to support Settle College by providing the expertise from an ex-professional rugby player,
Neil Spence.
Neil Spence is a community coach who comes into college to help during practices with his vast
experience and knowledge of the game. Not only has Neil helped within extra curricular practic-
es but he is helping in curriculum time too. Both girls and boys have enjoyed his lessons and
coaching time as participation numbers have increased since September. Neil has also enabled
Settle College to gain some first time fixtures and encourage more students to play the game
with the core values.
For next year we are hopefully, with Neil’s support, going to have the college rugby teams tak-
ing part in regular league fixtures within Yorkshire and nationally. Neil has also helped North
Ribblesdale RUFC and with the future looking bright we can work towards greater community
cohesion with the College and North Ribblesdale RUFC.

With the help from the RFU, Settle College
were entered into the Schools’ Aire Wharfe
Yorkshire League during it’s last event.
There were several games to play with tough
opposition from Bingley GS, Rossett School
and the formidable Prince Henry School.
They finished 4th overall which was an out-
standing achievement.
The first game was at Prince Henry’s
School. The boys were very reluctant to play
this team as they are the current county
champions. Nerves took hold and simple
handling errors made easy pickings for
Prince Henry’s. However, after ‘wise words’
the team stood together and started to play great
rugby with Tristan Ward and Jack Brennand
running through the defence and ‘Leaping
Salmon’ James Bilsborough destroying the line
outs. Great contact skills and cognitive applica-
tion made sure that Settle College left the pitch
with pride and honour as their professional
coaches came over to congratulate their perfor-
mances.
More exuberating rugby was played against
Bingley Grammar School as the try of the tour-
nament was scored. A delightful kick from
Hugh Francmannis made it into the hands of
Elias Westwood who smashed his way through
for a try. However, as the group of boys have
never played together, simple technical errors
occurred that made sure that they drew.
PAGE 10
The most comfortable game was against Salts School as they
won 38-0. Everyone played hard and scored great tries. How-
ever, after this game fitness came into account and affected
the boys’ performance.
Awards of the day:
Best Try—Hugh and Elias against Bingley GS
Best Rugby tackle—Luke Jeffery against Rossett School
Best Side Step—Harry Maltby against Menton School
Highest points—Jack Brennand against everyone
Hardman Award—Adam Middleton and Simon Morphet
throughout the tournament.
Overall Results
Players and spectators at all levels can enjoy sport better if
they totally accept two simple rules.
Rule 1: The referee is always right. Rule 2: In the event of
the referee being obviously wrong, Rule 1 applies.’

There have been several rugby
competitions at Giggleswick
School with the Year 11 and 7
being just against Giggleswick
and the Year 10 and 9 being na-
tional tournaments. Throughout
the age groups, excellent rugby
was played by both rugby and
non-rugby specialists.
Year 11
Year 11 had two teams against
Giggleswick School. The A team
played very good 7s rugby and
did especially well as they came
back to draw 14-14. With great
speed from Jack Brennand and
great power from Tristan Ward
helping Settle College to a draw.
However, it was not the case for
Settle College B team which was
mainly made up of forwards.
They found it very hard to keep
up with the pace from Giggles-
wick School.

Year 10
Year 10 had a national tournament with some of the best schools from the country against them.
This was a very hard challenge for these students as these independent schools and grammar
schools have played rugby 7s since time has begun! Year 10 found it hard to gain the concept of
7s as they love contact! Great performances from Declan Handy and Joshua Greenwood made
sure the Year 10’s reached the semi-final of the plate competition. There were also good perfor-
mances from new players such s Andrew Huck, Edward Garland and Joseph Cockett.

Team: Elias Westwood, Wil-
liam Booth ( C ), Louis Hen-
shaw, Kacper Reczkowski, Ed-

Year 11 Rugby (continued) Rugby 7s
PAGE 11
Year 7 took two teams to play Giggleswick
School during a lovely spring day! Overall the
Year 7 team produced some good rugby 7s
throughout the game understanding the concept of
flow and non-contact. The game had three halves
so more students could play.
The first team did exceptionally well with great
tries from Omari Kaup-Samuels smashing
through the Giggleswick School defence with a
great line and also Kyle Handy running down the
wing to cut in and score under the posts. Good
game management control from Euan Lambert
enabled the team to keep a first half lead, two
tries to one. Great try saving tackling from Tom
Dean and James Bradley put the team full of con-
fidence for the next half.
The second half made sure all the students went
on as a new team was selected. Unfortunately,
handling errors and bad decision making made
Giggleswick have the greater percentage of pos-
session and they were able to capitalise from this
and scored two tries.
The final third started with Settle College current-
ly losing three tries to two. Both teams put the
best team on to make sure they could win. Dead-
lock occurred as they equalled themselves out.
However, with good vision from Jordon McKen-
na who passed it to Freddie Howarth, a great scor-
ing opportunity came. Freddie Howarth ran the
full pitch missing four tackles making the game a
draw on the final whistle.
Team: Cameron Spritzer, Euan Lambert, Brandon
Spitzer, Omari Kaup-Samuels, Ben Bilsborough,
Kyle Handy, Dan Bullock, Paddy Capstick, Tom
Dean, Ted Wilson, James Bradley, Robert John-
son, Jordan McKenna, Jack Pinder, Sam Borwn,
Freddie Howarth, Jack Chamberlain, Jack Gar-
nett, Ben Bradley.
The same situation was against the Year 9
team as they also faced some of the best
rugby schools in the country. However, they
produced some excellent rugby against for-
midable schools as William Simpson and
Joel Wynne ran rings around defences. The
moment of the day goes to Tom Long as he
was able to catch up and tap tackle the fast-
est man in his age group nationally—well
done! Great performances from Tom
Maudsley and Jack Depledge helped Settle
College with respectable score lines.
Team: Ryan Hewitt, Tom Maudsley, Liam

A five week programme of gymnastics and
cross country using Settle College as a base
has been offered to Austwick, Horton and
Clapham primary schools. The confedera-
tion approached Settle College SSCO Chris
White and asked for an opportunity to use
the college facilities. So, a half term unit of
work was developed to give years 3, 4, 5
and 6 an opportunity to use the college
gymnasium and field. The children have
learnt to vault and use the large apparatus
within a topic on flight. The feedback from
the children has been very positive. Many
thanks go to Mrs Mundell from Clapham
Primary for running the cross country activ-
ities and Miss White for coaching the gym-
nastics.

Energy Club
Settle College COPE students have continued
their work with eight of the local primary
schools and have given lots of primary stu-
dents the opportunity to get involved in sport.
The energy Clubs are held every Tuesday
morning and are run by Settle College COPE
students. The half an hour session is packed
full of games and skills designed to energise
and enthuse young children. The initiative has
been a huge success.
Giggleswick Gallop
Over 100 primary students took part in the
Giggleswick Gallop on the 7th March. The
event was held at Settle College and college
students marshalled and acted as race officials
for this popular race. Many thanks to all who
helped make the event so enjoyable despite
the bitter weather.
‘Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.’
Settle College Sixth Form students have been
proactive in helping Settle and Clapham pri-
mary schools prepare for the netball tourna-
ment later this month. Settle and Clapham
both qualified to represent North Craven at
the partnership final and have been getting
ready to compete with coaching sessions and
mini tournaments. Settle College Sixth Form
provided the opposition to ensure match read-
iness and were able to offer support and guid-
ance to the Year 6 players. Whatever advice
Settle students offered must have done some
good because Settle Primary won the whole
competition and Clapham Primary came
fourth. Settle Primary will go forward to rep-
resent the partnership at the youth games in
June. Settle College students also supported
the primary swimming gala by acting as tim-
ers, place judges and recorders.
Netball Preparation
Following the refurbishment of the College
changing rooms the Physical Education de-
partment is delighted to welcome the arrival
of a small fitness suite with high tech re-
sistance machines and two weights benches.
The new facility will be a valuable addition to
Sixth Form games lessons and for BTec
Sports Studies when students have to com-
plete a six week training programme. At the
moment the suite has two bikes, a cross train-
er and two weights benches but eventually the
plan is to have treadmills and other equip-
ment. The funding for the facility came from
various sources including a successful bid
from the sports partnership and a grant from
the Settle Educational Foundation.

On the 8th to the 10th March 18 students participated in the PGL Junior Tournament. Taking two
teams down to Boreatton Park in Shropshire the students competed in their tournament against
students from all over the country. All players were outstanding and demonstrated a very good
level of netball. Although we did not finish top of the tournament, both teams finished above half
way in the table which is a credit to the performances they put in.
A very special well done to the following students for winning “player of the tournament” and
“effort of the tournament awards”, voted by their team mates.
Year 10 team:
Player of the tournament: Georgia Holgate
Effort of the tournament: Hannah Newbold
Year 11 team:
Player of the tournament: Katie Long
Effort of the tournament: Georgia Stirk
It was a fantastic weekend away and all students should be proud of the netball that was played!!
Well done to you all!!
